Heartbreaking and jaw dropping.

Bobby Reginelli fell to the ground in despair on Tuesday morning, when he realized he wasn't the first in line to get a permit for Denver's 420 rally. Application No. 1 was snatched up by a guy named 'Smokey.'

Reginelli, along with 40 staff members of the Euflora marijuana dispensary had been camping out at the city's office building for 27 days trying to get that permit.

"I don't want to be a sore loser," he said. "I respect the h*** out of the person who out-hustled us."

The city said they will look into what happened with the door situation.

In the mean time, Smokey now has a big to-do list by the end of the year, including a trash plan and security setup. Tuesday's process only guaranteed a temporary permit. If all requirements are met, the city will give out the official permit a few weeks before the event.
